Page | 3 – V1.2 (ETSI Statutes) Article 2: Purpose

The objective of the Institute is to produce and perform the maintenance of the technical standards and other deliverables which are required by its members.

As a recognized European Standards organization, an important task shall be to produce and perform the maintenance of the technical standards which are necessary to achieve a large unified European market for telecommunications, ICT, other electronic communications networks and services and related areas.

At the international level, the Institute shall aim to contribute to world-wide standardization in the fields described above. The objective of the Institute may be achieved by any means. The Institute may carry out any action relating directly or indirectly, wholly or in part, to its objective or which may develop or facilitate the achievement of its objective.

(ETSI Statutes) Article 3: Scope of activities

The principal role of the Institute shall be technical pre-standardization and standardization in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) at the European level including in the following fields:

 Telecommunications, ICT, and other electronic communications networks and services  Areas common to telecommunications, ICT, and other electronic communications networks and services, and information technology in co-ordination with CEN and CENELEC  Areas common to telecommunications, ICT, and other electronic communications networks and services, and broadcasting (especially audio-visual and multi-media matters) in co-ordination with CEN, CENELEC and the EBU.

At the global level, the Institute shall contribute to world-wide standardization in the fields described above to produce and perform the maintenance of the technical standards and other deliverables which are required by its members.

In addition, the Institute shall be open to co-operation with other organizations when appropriate.

The activities of the Institute shall contribute to the production and the promotion of new harmonized world-wide standards and furthermore shall build upon world-wide standards, existing or in preparation.

Declaration of ECRT

When considering what ECRT to declare, members should take into consideration the entire turnover related to electronic communications related products, components and services, regardless of technology or standard used. This should of course include turnover related to the entire range of technologies and services standardized by ETSI in the past and/or currently under development, and the previous work of CEPT. Gross turnover or revenue, and not net income, should be considered.

The Rules of Procedure, Annex 2, clause 6f) state that where a Member company is part of a corporate group, the ECRT is based upon the worldwide turnover generated by the entire corporate group's products and services related to electronic communications, not simply that of the Member company.

Where more than one company from a corporate group is an ETSI Member, the sum of ECRTs declared by these companies shall be equal to or greater than the ECRT calculated on the basis of the entire corporate group.

In the case where the member's ECRT is not able to be determined from publicly available information, the member will agree with the Director- General on the appropriate class of contribution which should apply.

In the event that a member is not able to declare its ECRT and is not willing to agree with the Director-General on the appropriate class of contribution which should apply then it shall be assigned the highest class of contribution, i.e. 45 units.

6 Participation in ETSI Partnership Projects

Exceptionally, the General Assembly may decide that the right to participate in a Partnership Project is subject to the payment of a minimum contribution to the ETSI budget.

ETSI member participation in 3GPP™ is subject to a minimum payment of 3 units of contribution excluding SMEs, Micro-Enterprises, Users, universities, and public research bodies which are subject to a minimum payment of 2 units of contribution.
